Week In The News: US Action In Iraq, Ceasefire Broken, Ebola Spreads (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

American airstrikes and humanitarian aid, on in Iraq today.  Ordered by the President whose number one push was to get the US out of Iraq.  Gaza conflict, back on after a 72-hour ceasefire.  Russian troops massed again on the border of Ukraine.  Ebola spreading in Africa, and being treated in the USA.  A top US general, shot in Afghanistan.  A record hack on Internet passwords.  A record fine on corporate America.  What a week.  We’ve had African leaders in Washington.  A water ban in Toledo. This hour, On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
